Coup attempt underway in Bolivia as president urges people to mobilize against it

However, in a twist, Zúñiga claimed in comments to journalists before his arrest that Arce himself told the general to storm the palace in a political move. “The president told me: ‘The situation is very screwed up, very critical. It is necessary to prepare something to raise my popularity’,” Zúñiga quoted the Bolivian leader as saying.

Zúñiga sajd he asked Arce if he should “take out the armored vehicles?” and Arce replied, “Take them out.”

No no no you see they WANTED ME to stage a coup you see! To boost the ALREADY SITTING PRESIDENT’S popularity!

if anything happens, just say it was the president's idea. I R very smrt. The public will totally believe you too. Trust me.
